Maggie’s Child is keeping me on my toes! I forgot I entered Maggie’s story into the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards 2014, and then received the listing for those going through into the next round.

Yup, my name was on the list!

After I wiped away the tears of disbelief, joy and a little pride, I told my husband and mother. We did a little whoop-whoop for Maggie, and then ate tea.

For me, it is enough that someone thought the excerpt good enough to go through. Hubby and Mother live for the next round. I am no fool, thousands enter and have amazing stories in all genre listings. I feel a winner with what I have achieved with, Maggie’s Child, so far.

About Glynis Smy

I live in the UK, in the seaside town of, Dovercourt~Harwich, where I enjoy writing novels. I've written historical romance/suspense, Medical romance and my latest WIP is in the crime genre. The Victorian era fascinates me and the best part of writing a novel is often the research.
Proud writing moments in my life: Shortlisted for Festival of Romance Fiction 2014 New Talent Award
Reaching second round of Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award 2014
Maggie's Child: reached #1 Amazon best-seller: Historical Romance Victorian /February 2014/ebook & book paid list. May 2014 #3 Historical Romance Victorian, and #25 in Historical Romance paid top 100 best-seller list. Top 100 in three categories on Amazon UK best-seller listings in 2015.
Seeing my books in a Suffolk (UK), library.
Over the years I've written short stories in a variety of genres. I've also won a few poetry contests, my first was at the age of twelve, (a poem about the Bangladeshi war). I also won a children's short story competition where the prize was a first-aid box, I was so proud but my husband found it amusing because we owned two pharmacies. My articles have been published in magazines both in the UK and Cyprus. I am also featured in various places on-line.
When I am not writing, I enjoy making greetings cards, Cross Stitch, fishing and the company of my little granddaughters.
